Instruments

Every
Case
• Spine. Disposable
instrument and implant
kits have come to spine
surgery — and they're
made of plastic.
Actually, The ASC
CerviKit by Xenco
Medical (xencomed-
ical.com) is engineered
from a highly durable
combination of nylon
plastic and fiberglass that the company says matches the efficacy of
aluminum metal in surgical conditions. The kits are packaged sterile
and ready to use. The entirely disposable cervical and lumbar spinal
systems include a cervical implant, pre-loaded cervical interbodies
and pre-loaded cervical plates, as well as the instruments needed
for the procedure.
• CERVICAL IMPLANTS The ASC CerviKit by Xenco Medical is an entirely
disposable spinal device system engineered from plastic instead of metal.
